Is it written anywhere where our souls are kept before birth? What's the name? I know that all the souls were created since the beginning of time but which place exactly are they stored? And what's the name of that place between Heaven and earth that we all go to after death?-I 4got the name. (Websites will also help.) Plus, I've heard that after the questions have been dealt with in the grave, either the gates of Hell are opened or the gates of Heaven depending on the person. Now the soul feels this right? This means that our souls can be in two places at a time considering that it also goes to that place betwixt Heaven and earth. Am I correct in assuming this? |

| [slm] I remember reading in a book that before man was created, Allah (swt) gave the souls of all humanity, that were in the heavens with Him, the option of choosing free will or not. They of course chose free will unlike the angels who chose to dedicate their lives to worship. This is why we cannot blame Allah (swt) for our problems.....I wish I can remember the title of that book. I usually like to reread things more than once. About that place between heaven & hell, I believe it's called ' Al-Barzakh'. Try reading the book, Paradise & Hell by Dr. Umar Al-Ashqar....it has answers to all the questions you asked. It's a good book. |
